C/O Berlin is delighted to award this year‘s C/O Berlin Talent Award to French artist Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques and to present his work in a solo exhibition from 07 December 2019 to 29 Februar 2020 at C/O Berlin in the Amerika Haus. The four artists Axel Braun (Germany), Jan Hoek (Netherlands), Camille Lévêque (France), and Luo Yang (China) are nominated for the Shortlist 2019.
The only prize of its kind in Europe, the C/O Berlin Talent Award recognizes the exceptional work of young photographers and art critics. The 2019 prize has been awarded to Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques, who was also nominated and shortlisted for the 2018 award. Couzinet-Jacques’ outstanding signature style and sustained development are once again on display in his most recent work, Sub Rosa (2018), whose contemporary vision, documentary-like visual language, and intelligent combination of photography, video, and sound installations fully convinced the jury. Sub Rosa will be shown for the first time as part of a solo exhibition at C/O Berlin. A bespoke publication will appear on the occasion of the exhibition.
The shortlist was selected by an expert panel, comprising Ann-Christin Bertrand (curator, C/O Berlin Foundation), Milena Carstens (head photography editor, ZEITmagazin), Joachim Naudts (curator, Fotomuseum Antwerpen), Stefanie Moshammer (2018 winner of the C/O Berlin Talent Award), and Thomas Seelig (curator, photography collection of Museum Folkwang, Essen). This year, four further artists—Axel Braun, Jan Hoek, Camille Levêque, and Luo Yang—were shortlisted. C/O Berlin looks forward to introducing the work of these artists in the autumn issue of the C/O Berlin newspaper, and online as part of C/O Berlin’s cooperation with Der Greif.
